| JoeEkaitis's Full Review: Xerox XG-71D 17 inch LCD Monitor |
From the people who invented WYSIWYG, the graphical user interface, scalable fonts and the computer mouse comes a flat panel monitor that redefines the word.
The breathtaking 17-inch viewable area of the Xerox XG-71D monitor is bordered by a black frame with the control buttons embedded in a narrow chrome strip along the bottom. Everything is mounted on a futuristic chrome pedestal. The display tips 25 degrees so that users of different heights can find the perfect viewing angle.
Covering the entire screen is a sheet of tempered glass, protecting the fragile LCD panel from pokes, prods and corrosive fingerprints. A sapphire-blue LED tells you when the power is on (steadily lit) or saving energy (flashing).
Connected to a Mac mini through the DVI input, the 1280x1024 workspace provides plenty of room without shrinking the Mac OS X Dock. In DVI mode, every pixel on the display is directly controlled by a specific memory location on the graphics card. The result is screen resolution so fine, you can edit full pages of text in Microsoft Word 2004:Mac even though the display panel doesn't rotate from landscape to portrait.
Low energy consumption, compact size and an analog VGA-to-DVI adapter complete the package.
